HomePortfolio.com, an Internet destination for premium home design products.
HomePortfolio was founded in the 1990s by Rolly Rouse and Tom Ashbrook, two friends from Yale with entrepreneurial spirits and an eagerness to stake their claim in the Internet land rush. While other design enthusiasts were tearing pages out of design magazines and dog-earing decorating books, they were creating the first ever online library of high-end home products—the type of products typically reserved for fancy Design Center showrooms that required a password and secret handshake before one would be granted admission.
